Series Summary:
A series of short, humorous stories following Tenchi's misadventures
towards marriage.
Episode Summary:
We discover just WHY Kiyone became pregnant (well, one reason); old
rivals of Washuu and Tsunami show up; and the rest of the cast learns
a few things about Washuu.
- "Why didn't you _tell_ us you were part of a nigh-omnipotent pan-
- dimensional trinity?"
- ::shrug:: "You never asked."
- For comedy, this initially kept things somewhat "real", or at least
- within what I considered the bounds of probability. It's gotten a
- little more "out there" recently - I hope this isn't a sign you're
- starting to reach.
In retrospect, I think I rushed Part 8 out a little too fast. In
that sense, maybe I am starting to "reach". But if you're talking
about anything in parts 5 through 7, I'd like to hear more about
what you mean: too many girls? too many in-joke references to
silly children series (smirfiends | poohbares | pikko-balls)?
tone too silly? something else?
- I also hope tying everyone to Yosho isn't just going to be an excuse
- to write them out - Yosho could be played for a wonderful
- Bob Newhart style of deadpan comedy. And I shudder to think what may
- happen when he reveals that, along with the appearance of an aged Terran
- male, he also inadvertently adopted a few of the, shall we say,
hydraulic
- setbacks?
Heh. That's an interesting idea. Mind if I use it? To tell you the
truth, I was planning to keep Youshou and his girls in the background
from now on, but maybe I'll rethink that.
- Anyway, keep this up as long as you can, but don't
overextend yourself.
I write these when the mood strikes me, and it hasn't lately. So
I don't _think_ I'm in any danger.
- Aside from being one hell of a double entendre, it also makes for a
- less enjoyable reading experience.
